Roman Numeral Converter

Note: The converter is designed to handle Arabic numbers within a specific range, specifically 1 to 3999. This range is due to the traditional Roman numeral system not having standard symbols for numbers larger than 1000 (M) and the symbol rules of use. Thus numbers greater than 3,999 do not have a standard or universally accepted Roman numeral representation.
